Charlotte saw Jordan and Naomi sitting on the carpet, playing with building blocks.Seeing Charlotte, Naomi dropped the blocks, ran to her in a hurry, and threw herself into her arms. “Mommy, it was Sister Jordan who brought me home. She also bought me my favorite chocolate. Sister Jordan is so nice, and I’m so happy.”Charlotte pinched Naomi’s tender face. “Yeah, Sister Jordan is so kind, and mommy is so happy too.”At this time, Jordan approached Charlotte, habitually adjusted her black-framed glasses, and smiled slightly.“When you left the other day, you asked me if I could handle a part-time job at your place and take care of Naomi. And I told you that our company stipulates that the assistant of the president can’t have part-time jobs.”Charlotte nodded.Jordan continued. “Sigh! But, I used to spend time with Naomi almost every day in the past. I’ve been feeling like something is missing ever since I stopped seeing her. As such, I risked being criticized by the president an
Upon hearing what Mr. Gold said, Charlotte’s curiosity became stronger and stronger.She walked quickly to the front of the yard and saw a white Bugatti Veyron parked under the plane tree in front of the yard from a distance. It was vaguely visible that a man wearing sunglasses was sitting in the driver’s seat.At that moment, the man saw Charlotte, so he opened the car door and got out of the car.Charlotte did not recognize who he was for a while. She only saw that he was wearing a black suit that looked new, immaculate, and outstanding.When he took off his sunglasses, Charlotte could not help being surprised after seeing his appearance.“Mr. Barkley, it’s you!”“So, you do remember me…” The man sighed. “Carlie, do you know? Although I know many artists and celebrities, you’re the one that goes through my mind most often after working with you. If you still remember me, why haven’t you contacted me even once after regaining your memory?”“This…” Charlotte shrugged awkwardly.
Dickson did not only hope that she would do well sincerely but also wanted to do everything in his power to create opportunities for her to make her shine like a dazzling pearl.“Oh, by the way, Zenios also told me that your appearance could easily be restored to what it used to be. So, Carlie, this is the deal. When you’ve undergone the restoration surgery, we’ll come together again and start filming the sequel of “The First Sorceress Princess”, okay?”Dickson’s mellow voice echoed in front of Charlotte.‘Wait a minute! Zachary only brought me to the doctor this morning. Only Zachary, the doctor, and I were present when the doctor told me that my appearance could be restored very easily. How did Zenios know about this?’Charlotte was stunned for a while and then nodded. “Okay… However, I have a very important matter to deal with now. I will undergo the operation after I’m done with it.”Dickson smiled kindly and said warmly, “In order to shoot this sequel, I’ve organized multiple
“Here’s the deal. ‘The First Sorceress Princess’ has made a spectacular amount of money, and according to our contract, I should give you 200 million dollars. However, I thought you were dead at the time. I went to your father and gave him the money that belonged to you, but your father didn’t want it,” Dickson said slowly and gently.The corner of Charlotte’s lips quivered. “You gave my dad so much money for nothing. Why didn't he want it?”“Well, I also asked him why, as I thought there couldn’t be such a stupid person in this world…” Dickson shrugged.“Then, he told me that his daughter was dead, so he saw no reason to take his daughter’s money.”A lump formed in Charlotte’s throat, and she nearly cried.She recalled going to visit her father last time.Her father had been in bad shape. He had gotten depressed and sunk into an involved melancholy after her apparent death. He had not even wanted so much money for free when someone had given it to him!Dickson then added, “Ther
Later, Kourtney had never once shown her any motherly love. When she had gone to beg her to visit Walter in the hospital, not only had she asked her to kneel in the rainstorm, but she’d also brought her to a bar after she had lost consciousness and allowed two men to defile her.There was no way she would let someone like that own her money. Besides, she only had about 400 dollars in savings, and the kidnapper who had abducted Poopoo had demanded a ransom of 300 million dollars. Poopoo was her and Zachary’s kid. She couldn’t bring herself to let Zachary pay the entire ransom. She was going to take the money back from Kourtney and take Poopoo back with Zachary.That night, Charlotte made a series of preparations.The next morning, after she sent Naomi to kindergarten, she went to the lawyer's office to meet with the lawyer she had made an appointment with last night and then drove straight to the Noble Garden.The Noble Garden was located in the heart of the most luxurious area of
Charlotte turned off the engine and kicked the door open. Then, she said, “It has only been a few days, and you don’t recognize me anymore?”A hint of panic appeared on Kourtney’s face, which was caked with make-up. The bubble of her arrogance deflated, and her voice began shaking. “How come you’re here? Sotiria, what are you doing at my house?”“Sotiria?” Charlotte, who had come out of the car, lifted her chin defiantly and replied, “Do you really think I'm Sotiria, or are you just pretending to be confused?”Kourtney felt embarrassed. “You’ve made quite a big fuss on the internet, so I already know who you are. Anyway, that doesn’t matter. What do you want from me?”Charlotte’s face was bereft of emotion, and her gaze was cold.“I’m here to ask for some money.” “Really?” Kourtney’s face sank as she scoffed. “I guess you must’ve damaged your brain in that accident four years ago. Although I gave birth to you, you’re nothing in my eyes. I do have quite some money right now,
After she finished speaking, Charlotte hurled a stack of documents into Kourtney’s arms. Kourtney looked blankly at the stack of documents. Before she could ask anything, Charlotte said coldly, “Here are the transfer records and some other evidence that shows you took the money from Mr. Barkley. I've consulted a lawyer and I have the right to get the money back. I will give you two days to get the money and return it to me. Otherwise, I will take you to court.” After saying that, she turned around and left.“Carlie, wait!”Kourtney’s voice erupted behind Charlotte’s back.Charlotte initially intended to take her leave coldly without any hesitation, but at that moment, her feet were cemented on the ground as if they were filled with lead, and she could not take a step forward.Carlie!Kourtney had just called her “Carlie”!In the past, Kourtney had just treated her as a tumor and wanted nothing but to remove her from her body. Whenever Kourtney talked to her, she would call
Charlotte was so flustered that her hands quivered and she nearly drove the car into the divider island.She hastily found a safe spot to stop her car and said in a shaky voice, “Who are you? How do you know about my son?”“Not only do I know about your son, but I also know where your son is.” The deep voice was obviously altered, and Charlotte couldn’t even tell if the person was a man or a woman. Charlotte grew even more nervous as she pressed on. “Where’s Poopoo?”The voice then said plainly, “He’s in my hands.”Boom!Charlotte felt as if a bomb had gone off in her head and was left speechless.“He he he he… That’s right, Charlotte Simmons. I’m the one who abducted your son. I sent a parcel to you last night, and it arrived at your house on the Platinum Coast a few minutes ago. What you’re gonna do now is go home and open the parcel.”The voice rang like a curse in Charlotte’s ear.It took Charlotte a short while to find her voice again. “What’s inside the parcel?”“All I
As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotte’s inbox.Charlotte opened it and found a video of her recent sexual encounter with Zachary in the car. She screamed and blushed furiously.Before long, she received a message from Rufus.“This exciting clip of you with Zachary is your remuneration. I will keep it safe and save it for my future enjoyment. Our debt has been repaid. You’re welcome!”Charlotte’s expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.“I won’t let anyone see this. Don’t worry.”Charlotte questioned herself.She had no idea how Rufus had managed to get this video. He was in a different city. However, she let go of the question soon enough, as Rufus had already sent the information to her inbox.The next day, at a high-class hotel in Rothesay.A black Masserati was parked outside the hotel entrance. As two bodyguards escorted a pot-bellied, middle-aged man out of the hotel, the driver hurriedly opened the Masserati’s door and said in a
“Lory…” A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.“Zachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. He’s obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?”Lorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, “You’re wrong, Jez. Zachary isn’t doing it with her to hurt me. I’m nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. He’s doing this because he’s so in love with Carlie that he’s lost control!”“Uh…” Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotte’s car, shook her head, and said, “Lory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and I’ll take you anywhere you like. Isn’t that much better?”“No!” Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.“It’s all Charlotte’s fault that Zach and I have ended up this way. I
The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”“Why?” Zachary kept his eyes on her.There was no doubt about it. Not only did his wife have an extremely exquisite face, but her figure was also graceful and well-proportioned, better than a supermodel’s.The subtle display of fair flesh underneath her skirt seemed to exude a seductive fragrance. Her waist, which was the width of an A4 size paper, was slender. He felt an urge to hold her in his arms. She crossed her slender and well-proportioned legs naturally, creating a dark silhouette…‘D*mn it!’Zachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotte’s body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.“Based on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know we’ve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,” Charlotte replied calmly
Charlotte remained sitting calmly in the car. She knew that this time, Zachary was determined to strangle Lorraine to death.Of course, she didn’t want Zachary to do it… But not because she didn’t want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebel’s support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasn’t worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didn’t deserve him.Charlotte knew very well that since Lorraine, who was a natural schemer, had the nerve to seek her out alone, it meant that she would have been prepared to run into Zachary and would ensure that Zachary would be too afraid to kill her.Thus, even though Zachary was strangling Lorraine, Charlotte did not exit the car to stop him.The car door opened and closed.Charlotte felt a bone-chilling aura throughout the entire car as soon as Zachary entered the co-driver’s seat.Zachary didn’t speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio
“What have you done?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a frosty wind.“I’ve hired a few assassins. The assassins and I have had an agreement. If anything happens to me, they will do everything in their power to kill Charlotte and her two kids!”Charlotte’s entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.“Hehehe… Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldn’t have said ‘her two kids’. They’re yours and Charlotte’s kids, aren’t they?”Lorraine supported herself as she rose to her feet.In the past, no matter what happened, she would always do her best to maintain a good impression in front of Zachary, to show him the best parts of her.Now, she knew that his impression of her was gone with the wind. She cackled freely like a maniac. “Hahahaha… Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. You’ve always been fearless, but she’s the only one who’s ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isn’t she?”Zachary eyed Lorraine icily, his gaze as sharp as cold knives. Lorraine, whose heart was no
Lorraine forgot about the pain due to the intense panic she felt and stared at Zachary in disbelief. “Zachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? I’m pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the child’s well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?”“A wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.” Zachary’s cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraine’s lips trembled, but she could not utter another word, as if her throat was being severely strangled by an invisible hand.Cough! A large mouthful of blood was spat out of her mouth, dyeing her white dress red.Although she did not feel pain or fear, her heart was glacial.She also knew that she deserved more than just death!‘But... wicked woman?‘I didn’t expect to be labeled as a “wicked woman” in Zachary’s heart someday!’As he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zachary’s eyes, and his voice still sounded frigid and merci
Lucas called not long after Charlotte put down her cell phone. “Milady, I just received a call from my ex-girlfriend, who I dumped last month, and she said that she just found out that she’s pregnant and she suspects that the baby might be my child... Ahem!“Therefore, I have to go to the hospital to get a paternity test with her as soon as possible. I don’t have time to drive Naomi back to your house, so you can either pick her up yourself or just let Naomi stay at the Second Master’s house.”Charlotte decided to pick Naomi up.As soon as she drove out of the yard gate, a crimson Ferrari dashed toward her head-on. She immediately turned the steering wheel sharply, avoiding a direct clash with the car.Braking harshly, the Ferrari hit the tree and killed its engine.Charlotte also stepped on the brake.The Ferrari’s door was pushed open abruptly, and Lorraine walked in front of Charlotte’s car angrily. She then pointed at Charlotte with her trembling right hand. “Charlotte Simmon
“Don’t forget who I am. There’s nothing that I can’t find out as long as I want to know... Aaaah—“Baby, you‘re hurting me. Don’t be too greedy... Oh, slow down, I’m on the phone. Oh. Ow—” The man’s voice was interrupted by a series of his own cries, and a woman’s moans were coming from the background at the same time.Charlotte vaguely pictured a rather explicit scene, blushed, and cleared her throat. “Um... I can call you later if it’s inconvenient for you to speak now.”“There’s no need. It’s convenient. Very convenient... Good girls, wait for me on the bed. I’ll get angry otherwise, understand?”“Hmph, are we less significant than your phone calls? Hmph!”“Don’t keep us waiting!”The sound of footsteps faded away.The man squinted his rare violet eyes and said languidly, “My little Simmons Princess, I’ve long heard people say that you’re still alive, and I really want to take a look at you with my own eyes, but I’ve sworn to never take another step into Rothesay. You should
Zachary looked at Charlotte through the window as a surge of pride swelled inside of him. “She’s my wife right now, so she’s your niece-in-law. You shouldn’t call her ‘that woman’ anymore.”The corner of the man’s lips curled up a little when he heard what Zachary had said. However, he soon reverted to his serious expression and continued. “Zach, even if she’s your wife now, I have to warn you. You have to think twice before you act. My great-grandfather, who’s also your great-grandfather, was framed and died in prison for offending someone from the royal family. Your great-great-grandmother wrote a letter with her own blood and came up with a family rule. The Connors are only allowed to do business. They are not allowed to deal with people from the government. Do you really want to break the family rule for her?”“Yes,” Zachary replied, his deep brown eyes filled with murderous intent. “I owe her a wedding, and I don’t want them to interfere with my wedding.”The man opened his mou
